End users see dealers as the manufacture
Manufactures see dealers as unimportant middlemen.
dealers get it from both ends at the same time.
end users don't care if the reseller feels comfortable with a new
version, and neither does SCO. But inconsistencies/changes end up
costing the reseller time (aka: money).
Life from a reseller's (SCO's Customer) point of view.
Neener Neener Neener....
Having said that: I understand there are only 30 hours in a day.
Dealers have the same problem, and we appreciate feeling appreciated.
I suppose I should remind everyone (myself included) that I don't work
for SCO any more. I have no influence over this stuff. You want SCO to
produce a working old-fashioned `hwconfig` for OSR6? You'll have to
raise it through appropriate support channels to get a real response...
(1) HW reports 4 processors running on a 2 processor Xeon system I just
installed. It says they are all working fine however, so I'm not
worried.
Those are probably HT (HyperThreaded) processors. You have two real
processors and two that can do an extra 10% work (if you're lucky).
(2) The verbosity of the hw output should be summarizable via shell
script into a knockoff of the sacred hwconfig command, no? yes? the
problem is understanding the output, which is ununderstandable by most
beings of high or low intelligence. no?
A script could probably be written to summarize `hw` output down to
`hwconfig` format. It would be throwing out huge amounts of
information, possibly to the point where it wouldn't really represent
the system in a useful manner. I dunno. Someone who is actively using
OSR6 could do this (and doesn't have to be inside SCO). Not me, the
only OSR6 stuff I have is virtual machines that I only turn on
occasionally to see how something works...
